Got Racism?

Liberal racism sightings have become like a lunatic's version of
"Where's Waldo?" Kevin Baker of Harper's magazine says Romney's
referring to his "five boys" in last week's debate was how he "slyly
found a way" to call Obama a "boy." Says Baker: "How the right's
hard-core racists must have howled at that!"

MSNBC's Chris Matthews says the word "apartment" is racist because
black people live in apartments. He also says the word "Chicago" is
racist because -- despite its well-known reputation as the home of Al
Capone and the Daley machine -- a lot of black people live there, too.
(And don't get him started on "Chicago apartments"!)

As we go to press, Matthews is working on an exciting new hypothesis that peanut butter is racist.

Meanwhile, my new favorite actress, Stacey Dash, sends an inoffensive
little tweet supporting Mitt Romney and is buried in tweets calling her
"an indoor slave" and a "jiggaboo," who was "slutting (herself) to the
white man." (And those were just the tweets from the Obama 2012
Re-election Campaign!)

Could we get an expert opinion from Chris Matthews or Kevin Baker about whether any of that is racist?

It's a strange thing with liberals. They spend so much time fawning
over black nonentities -- like Maya Angelou, Eugene Robinson, Barack and
Michelle Obama, and Rachel Maddow's very, very, very special black
guest Melissa Harris-Perry -- that, every once in awhile, they seem to
erupt in racist bile to restore their mental equilibrium.

After President George W. Bush appointed Condoleezza Rice the first
black female secretary of state, she was maligned in racist cartoons
portraying her as Aunt Jemima, Butterfly McQueen from "Gone With the
Wind," a fat-lipped Bush parrot and other racist cliches.

Kevin Baker didn't notice any of that because he was working on his theory that referring to your sons is racist.

When Michael Steele ran for senator from Maryland, he was depicted in
blackface and with huge red lips by liberal blogger Steve Gilliard. Sen.
Charles Schumer's Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee dug up a
copy of Steele's credit report -- something done to no other Republican
candidate.

Is that more or less racist than Romney mentioning his sons? More or less racist than the word "apartment"?

Mia Love, a black Republican running for Congress in Utah had her
Wikipedia page hacked with racist bile, heavy on the N-word. Her
campaign headquarters has been bombarded with racist graffiti and slimy
mailings with pictures of Klansman next to photos of her family.

Some would say that's even more racist than Romney talking about his sons.

On less evidence than the birthers have, liberals slandered both
Clarence Thomas and Herman Cain with the racist stereotype of black men
as sexual predators.

As the preceding short list suggests, liberals usually limit their racist slime to conservative blacks. But not always.

In 2008, Bill Clinton said of Obama "a few years ago this guy would
have been carrying our bags." Democratic Sen. Harry Reid praised Obama
for not speaking in a "Negro dialect." Joe Biden complimented Obama for
being "clean" and "articulate."

Did I mention that Kevin Baker thinks that Romney referring to his "five boys" is racist?

Two years ago, liberal newsman Dan Rather said the criticism of Obama
was that he "couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him the state
troopers to flag down the traffic." (I immediately called for Rather's
firing for that, and then remembered that he didn't have a job.)

Last week, Rather won the 2012 Edward R. Murrow Award for Lifetime
Achievement from Washington State University. That's not a joke -- or at
least not my joke.

Since February 2008, the primary evidence of racism has been failure to
fully support Obama's election, policies or re-election. As Slate
magazine's Jacob Weisberg put it during the last presidential campaign,
only if Obama were elected president would children in America be able
to "grow up thinking of prejudice as a nonfactor in their lives."

I wish I had a nickel for every kid who's come up to me in an airport
and said, "What I wouldn't give to be able to think of prejudice as a
non-factor in my life ..."

Curiously, liberals weren't concerned about what children in America
would think if Clarence Thomas' Supreme Court nomination had been
defeated. No, only electing the most liberal person ever to seek the
presidency on a major party ticket would prove that the country could
"put its own self-interest ahead of its crazy irrationality over race."

The left's racial demagoguery worked: In 2008, Obama received a larger
proportion of the white vote than any Democrat running for president in
nearly 40 years. (Though he tied Clinton's 1996 white vote record.)

And look how well that turned out! We haven't heard another peep about racism since then.

I believe Romney is more about racism in terms of class rather than against minorities.With his plans of cutting assistance for those in need.Raising taxes on the middle tax.The rich will barely get taxed only getting richer.Alot of republicans bash people needing government assistance...not realising Romneys plan is shady and greedy.

Romneys extreme right views also clash with the ideology of many liberals especially who are far left.His views in some of us older liberals that have seen the struggle of civil rights and affirmative action see his views as outdated and dividing.

As a liberal when I saw Romney on stage act like a moderate when on the campaign trail call %47 of people moochers and send a poor person to an emergency room for healthcare.Then smile on stage and says he is for everyone.....sent a million chills of fear down my spine.

I thought who is this guy.....really...how can I trust him??

I grew up being inspired by leaders like John Kennedy and Martin Luther King.To me Obama has this same heart and vision for the American people.

I too was inspired by JFK but the difference is I ask what I can do for my country not what kind of free crap the government can give me. The best thing I can do for my country is get rid of a weak president who does everything he can to take away my freedoms and rights. One who has proven he is not strong enough to be the leader of this country.

With his plans of cutting assistance for those in need? That makes him racist? Check your demographics and facts. Goodness.
